Our bullets are too large to be choking hazards.

Would have worked better if the toy had been a tiny M16 or Uzi.

I know a liquor store that has them, but idk if that's because of deregulation or lack of ****s to give.

He didn’t say anything I disagree with except that hotel staff should look in your bags.

My impression of the international reaction to events in the US is unlikely to be aligned with reality. You’d have to deeply study the foreign media to even hazard a guess. But I still have a take based on what I’ve seen. I used to watch Japan’s NHK news, Germany’s Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera, BBC and the PBS News Hour. I had a cable news package that included English translation. It also had some more East Asian shows as well, South Korea, China, and Indonesia - I think. After 9/11, I found to my surprise that Al Jazeera was the most pro-American foreign news station. But to me there was always a kind of snarky bitterness toward America, especially from the BBC... until Sandy Hook. And after Sandy Hook when we remained stuck in the same rut the tone became more sorrowful and empathetic. We’re like a neighbor who used to be a rich ******* who’s now wandering around homeless muttering to ourselves.

People are saying they want our schools to have the same security as our airports. As a former teacher, that’s just ****ing heartbreaking man.

Caesars says they’re going to check rooms even with Do Not Disturb signs. I don’t think I’m being trite when I say laying around naked all day with your drugs on the table in Las Vegas is an important freedom. For me, hanging that do not disturb sign on the door in Vegas was a ****ing rite of passage. I don’t want people insisting on barging in when I’m getting blown by a crackhead transvestite. I’m not joking, either. If you can’t have privacy in a casino hotel in Vegas we’re really losing it.

The Republic of Florida?

It appears they’re still uncertain. Probably the most horrifying name I’ve ever heard. That’s the kind of **** that’ll make you miss ISIS.

ICE nabs 195 criminal illegal immigrants during workplace inspections in Los Angeles

You know every time I hear people push for stricter immigration, it's coupled with fears of how terrible MS-13 is and how they're revolutionizing prison gang structures in a bad way (which is true). Given that, why does the Gestapo seem to think that drug lords want to work a midnight shift at 7/11? Why aren't the businesses being shut down for not abiding by minimum wage laws? What about the half of the group that had no criminal history or known affiliations with criminal behaviour, how long will they be held in ICE's concentration camps? I know someone who's been in holding with his whole family since No****ingvember for getting caught at a checkpoint with no sign of deportation, release, sentencing, court date, nothing. I'm told that this is "common sense" immigration.

Man you need help if that's all takes for you to be hostile towards illegal immigrants.

Immigration bills fail in the Senate, fate of Dreamers murkier than ever

Is this where we learn first hand why the German people let it happen?
